Cold Case
So I was up into the wee hours of the morning and caught an episode of Cold Case. I like the show, it's pretty solid without being ridiculously over-dramatic. But the episode went back to a case in 1963 where a black boy was found murdered in the street. Eventually they traced it to 4 white men. Zeke, the black boy, played chess at the house of the white lady. The husband assumed he was doing something evil, so he and three "buddies" beat him senseless while his daughter watched. Eventually the husband feels bad and starts crying with his daughter as the other 3 lynched the poor boy. At the end of the day, we have the "I Have A Dream" speech ending the episode. It really sent chills down my spine thinking that only 46 years ago that speech was made.
